Toilet chip repair in West Kingston

About our toilet chip repair in West Kingston

Chips are rebuilt and colour-matched to the glaze, so you do not need a plumber or a new toilet. A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Whether it’s chips on the cistern lid and marks on the outside of the pan, we can normally put it right, on vitreous china, porcelain and toilet pans alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Take care with heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning and drying the damage.
  2. Next we rebuild the missing piece to its original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour to the glaze.
  5. We polish the repair to blend it in.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in West Kingston, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A crack that leaks water
  • A crack through the bowl or trap
  • A loose pan or leaking seal (that’s a plumbing job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to West Kingston. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole toilet
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the toilet, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet needs a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and a matching cistern may no longer be made. A repair keeps the toilet you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common questions in West Kingston

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so West Kingston is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
